About This Trail
This is the Upper Delicate Arch Viewpoint hike: a moderately strenuous trail that climbs up slopes and steps to an overlook where Delicate Arch is visible across a canyon about a mile away. You cannot hike to Delicate Arch itself from this trail; the actual hike to the arch begins at Wolfe Ranch. Because it climbs slopes and steps, the upper viewpoint is not wheelchair accessible, unlike the separate flat lower viewpoint.
